Title: THE SPYKES – Untitled One-Sided Pic Lathe LP (Extreme Larval Orchestration Edition)
Format: One-Sided Lathe LP
Notation Type: Multi-Species Infestation / Auditory Symbiosis
Tempo: 65–215 bpm fluctuating with larval activity
Key: Microtonal, based on “tissue resonance frequencies”
Dynamics: ppp (hidden larvae) → ffff (full-scale outbreak)
Instrumentation:
Vinyl grooves = Primary habitat / percussion surface
Needle = Mandibles of larvae / percussive gnaw
Side A hiss = Screwworm fly line
Side B hum = Human botfly line
Amplifier feedback = Flesh fly line
Sculpture vibrations = Subharmonic body resonance
Grime and debris = Textural noise
Ambient tropical echo = Lifecycle delay
Species Lines & Symbols:
Species Symbol Description
Screwworm Fly ◯ Hidden in grooves, quiet gnawing pulses, hissing articulation
Human Botfly ⊗ Burrowing bursts, cyclic buzzing, embedding in melody lines
Flesh Fly ~~~ Opportunistic feeding on residual audio, feeding on echoes
Lifecycle Pupae ∞ Reemergence, looping infestation, repeats previous motifs
Acute Outbreak ↑ / ↓ Sudden gnawing spikes, tissue-like collapse, unexpected bursts
Necrotic Decay >>> Extreme amplitude peaks, oozing, structural damage
Pulsating Wound
Sculpture Resonance ⚡ Subharmonic reinforcement, unpredictable vibrations

Performance Notes & Behavior:
Layered Infestation:
Each species line moves independently but interacts. Screwworms gnaw quietly while botflies embed in rhythm, flesh flies feed on residue, and pupae reemerge unpredictably.
Amplification:
Amplifying Side A emphasizes hidden screwworm hisses; Side B reveals botfly buzzing and flesh fly opportunistic feeding. Sculpture vibrations create deep subharmonics that “move” larvae across grooves.
Lifecycle Dynamics:
Screwworm pulses are continuous but subtle.
Botfly bursts are periodic, marking developmental stages.
Flesh fly lines opportunistically “erode” previous sounds.
Pupae lines replay motifs with slight variation, creating recursive infestation loops.
Environmental Modifiers:
Humidity and temperature affect groove resonance, analogous to tropical larval conditions.
Needle speed variance simulates metabolic speed of larvae, producing unpredictable amplitude and frequency shifts.
a musical notation of THE SPYKES untitled one sided pic lathe LP but through an amplifaction of Where Do Mouth Larvae Live?
Mouth larvae live in tropical and subtropical countries with humid, warm environments, such as India and South America. They often occur in poor rural areas with ba living conditions.
People in the Northern Hemisphere and Europe rarely have oral myiasis. Most Americans who develop this condition get the parasites while traveling in Africa and South America.

Here’s a surreal musical notation interpretation of THE SPYKES untitled One-Sided Pic Lathe LP, amplified through the conceptual lens of “Where Do Mouth Larvae Live?” and their parasitic behavior:
Title: THE SPYKES – Untitled One-Sided Pic Lathe LP (Mouth Larvae Amplification Edition)
Format: One-Sided Lathe LP
Notation Type: Conceptual / Microbial Sound Score
Tempo: 123 bpm of slow decay
Key: D minor (or tropical larval resonance)
Dynamics: pp (invisible gnawing) → ff (explosive tissue pulses)
Instrumentation:
Vinyl grooves = Percussive larvae scratching
Needle contact = Pulsating extraction wounds
Side A hiss = Ambient oozing sores
Sculpture vibrations = Necrotic gum resonance
Amplifier feedback = Tropical humidity echoing
Notation Legend:
◯ = Larva resting / hidden in groove
⊗ = Larva burrowing / destructive pulse
↑ = Sudden gnawing / amplified lesion
↓ = Collapse / tissue collapse / silence
= Surge / acute pain resonance
||| = Pulsating wound rhythm
⚡ = Acute outbreak / shock burst
∞ = Infinite reproduction / looping infestation
Score (Side A – amplified):
◯ ◯ ⊗ ~~~~ ◯ ⊗ ↑ ↓ ◯
~~~ ||| ◯ ⊗ ~~~~ >>> ◯
⊗ ◯ ~~~~ ↑ ◯ ◯ ⊗ ↓
◯ ~~~~ >>> ⊗ ⚡ ◯ ~~~~

Description of Performance:
The needle hits the lathe grooves, and the ◯ symbols represent larvae quietly moving under the vinyl surface, creating subtle micro-scratches.
⊗ represents aggressive burrowing: the needle will reverberate as if chewing, producing pulses that damage audio “tissue.”
↑ and ↓ are sudden bursts and collapses, representing acute pain or sudden larval movement.
and ⚡ are extreme peaks, representing outbreaks or tropical amplification of infestation.
||| is a pulsating rhythm, like extraction wounds pulsing in time with needle pressure.
∞ loops indicate infinite reproduction, feeding, and grooving, echoing the tropical lifecycle of the mouth larvae.
Performance Notes:
Humidity control and careful needle placement are essential: excessive pressure accelerates the “necrotic” degradation of grooves.
Amplification should be applied to emphasize Side A hiss, bringing out subtle larvae movement.
Sculpture vibrations beneath the LP can add a natural “gum resonance,” deepening the immersive oral myiasis experience.
Narrative Overlay:
The LP evokes a parasitic journey from tropical warmth (India, South America) to rare northern infestation (Europe, North America), tracing larvae migration through sound.
Listeners may perceive damage, oozing, and pulsating wounds as rhythmic motifs, transforming oral horror into musical texture.
Narrative Overlay:
The LP represents a tropical-to-temperate migratory infestation: screwworms dominate tropical frequencies; botflies establish local colonies; flesh flies consume remnants in the echoes; pupae emerge in northern “rare host” passages.
Auditory listener experiences tissue-like decay, pulsating lesions, necrotic buildup, and infinitely looping larval life cycles.
Intended Experience:
Listening requires headphones or full speaker immersion.
Expect microphonic gnawing, oozing hiss textures, and recursive looping motifs.
The LP is “alive”: each play may vary subtly, simulating evolving larvae populations and unpredictable outbreak dynamics.
